with. That is, sociable girls do. Some don't
care brass button about the people so lo1g
as they get their money all right GSrman
and Swede girls are like that Irish girls are
more warm hearted, and if people are kind to
them they like them and will do a great deal
for them. ] don't mean to say that it is
right to talk about the family outside but
sometimes girl don't think, and it comes out
before she knows it. She don't mean any
harm. 1t is very hard for people to keep

AT the annual meeting, some time ago, it
was reported that 10, GO4 lessons in cooking
had been given by the school. Teachers
graduated from the school had been sent to
many missions, girls schools and clubs in New
